Tennessee Self Concept Scale

The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in self-concept between alcoholic and non-alcoholic adults in each of the following areas: physical self, moral-ethical self, personal self, family self, social self, and self-criticism as measured by the Tennessee Self Concept Scale (TSCS). The TSCS and the Self-Multi-Attitude Test were administered to forty-six alcoholics from the Rehabilitation Centre of the Alcoholism Commission and fifty-nine non-alcoholic employees from government corporations. The Self-Multi-Attitude Test was administered as an additional verification of the sample grouping. A t test was used to assess differences between means obtained by the alcoholics and non-alcoholics on each of the sub-tests of the TSCS. The findings of the study supported the hypotheses that there are significant differences between the means obtained by alcoholics and non-alcoholics on all the sub-tests of the TSCS, with the exception of the self-criticism sub-test.

Tennessee Self Concept Scale

The item responses of the Tennessee Self-concept Scale for 743 typical adults were factor analyzed. The Self-criticism, Social Self, Family Self, and Personal Self subscales of the external dimension were clearly unitary in composition. The Moral-ethical subscale was more narrowly defined than expected. The Physical Self subscale emerged as three separate factors. Evidence of an internal dimension was found but that differed from the model of the scale. Except for negative self-esteem factors found for atypical adults, similarity to the original factor structure is indicated across a wide range of samples.

One Year

The self-concepts of 10 5-yr.-old girls enrolled in a preballet program at a ballet school in Tulsa, Oklahoma for over one year were measured using the Purdue Self-concept Scale for Preschool Children. Their scores were compared against the scale's normative data for girls of similar age. A one-sample two-tailed t test showed girls' mean was 1 standard deviation above the normative population's mean, a significant difference. Preballet education may be an effective tool for enhancing self-concept, although selective factors may contribute also.

Tennessee Self Concept Scale

101 male college students were administered the Franck Drawing Completion Test and Tennessee Self-concept Scale to determine to what degree the self-concept and sexual identification are related. It was hypothesized that individuals with clearer sexual identification have more positive self-concepts. The results did not support the hypothesis, because the correlations were nonsignificant. The reasons were evaluated, among which the possibility that the self-concept scale lacks validity was given a more prominent consideration.

Despite an ample study and analysis of Self concept and Self esteem, not a solitary deconstructive work has been done on the Effect of Self concept on Self esteem. So, this study aimed at the disclosure of all the ways through which self concept affects the self esteem among university students. The research method applied on the paper was quantitative. The study adopted a Multiple Self Concept Scale byBruce A. Bracken and Rosenberg’s Self- esteems scale (Rosenberg, 1965). The collected data analysis was accomplished statistically using the t-test and coefficient of correlation techniques. A sample of 250 students comprised of 75 males and 175 females was taken from BZU Multan. The inferences of the study conceded that Self Concept has a significant effect on Self esteem among university adults. Besides, the research inquiry brought the fact to light that there is, no doubt, a significant disparity of influences of self concept on self esteem between male and female.

The present study examined the self-concepts of 101 hospitalized alcoholics, 20 hospitalized non-alcoholics, and 20 controls using the Clinical and Research Form of the Tennessee Self-concept Scale. A moderate treatment effect on self-concept was found for the hospitalized alcoholics. Subscale scores were not related to treatment completion. Examination of the self-concept of hospitalized and normal controls suggested that the former group has a more negative self-concept than the latter. The possibility is raised that hospitalization played an unexamined but important role in previous studies of alcoholics' self-concepts.

Tennessee Self Concept Scale

The Tennessee Self-concept Scale is a two-faceted instrument, one of which is the internal modality of the self-concept and the other one is the self as an external referent. The smallest space analysis of the subscales intercorrelation matrix yielded a definite pattern replicated in 8 studies. The order of the subscales of the internal selves was Am, Act, Accept, and of the external selves was Physical, Social, Personal, Family, Moral/ethical. Psychological interpretations of the order are suggested, and possible effects of some particular features of the instrument are discussed.

The Tennessee Self-concept Scale was administered to 15 Australian subjects who had been practicing Transcendental Meditation for a mean of 3 yr. and 15 Australian subjects who had never practiced. A t test showed meditators had significantly more positive self-concepts on 7 of the 29 test scores—Total Positive, Identity, Self-satisfaction, Personal Self, Personality Disorder, Distribution Sub-score 2, and Moral Ethical Self. The possible psychological significance of these findings is discussed as are implications for additional research. The need for cross-validation of data reported in the present paper is essential.

Tennessee Self Concept Scale

60 male Nigerian prison inmates (30 with convicted status and 30 awaiting trial) and 210 male noninmates were administered the Tennessee Self-concept Scale to test the hypotheses that (1) inmates with convicted status would obtain higher self-concept scores than those with “awaiting trial” status, and (2) the self-concept scores of prison inmates generally would be lower than those of noninmates. The two hypotheses were strongly supported for this sample. It was concluded that self-concept scores were not only related to delinquency but also to custodial status.
